Writers Are Weird

Writers Are Weird *We are very  protective of our writing time. If you must approach us, bring treats. Or maybe a puppy. A soft, soothing voice helps too. Otherwise, interrupt at your own risk. *We secretly hope no one ever checks our search histories. How else are we supposed to learn how to kill a character off in a realistic way? It's called research, people! *We're obsessed with notebooks. Journals. Diaries. Really any kind of bound paper. *Inspiration strikes us at unusual times. I've drafted texts at church or in bed. I might scribble a note and shove it in my pocket at work. I slap ideas on post-its. When you're elbow deep in dish water is a great time for inspiration to strike. I suggest just bringing the notebook in the kitchen because the minute you get back to the sink . . . poof!  the next idea pops in your head. *We act out scenes to better visualize them. Me: *sits on the floor with a butter knife between my palms* Me: Which angl...

My Girl Power Playlist & Other Random Things

I thought I'd start out today's blog with my Girl Power playlist. It's been a little dreary out. I've needed a pick me up. Maybe you do too! Fighter , Christina Aguilera Roar , Katy Perry Salute , Little Mix Sit Still, Look Pretty , Daya Stronger , Kelly Clarkson Fight Song , Rachel Platten PG song-- Run the World (Girls) , Beyonce It also works well as a workout playlist! ***** Style I'm sporting: 90's grunge . . . sort of I'm not one to revisit old styles from high school. But I still love a cute tank and an open button up shirt. It's like the shirt and cardigan's free spirited cousin, twice removed. Speaking of high school, Jaime French posted a video on FB entitled "If Beauty YouTubers Existed in 1999." It's hilarious! Not gonna lie, I was all about that shimmery white eyeshadow and butterfly hair clips. Oh, and hoop earrings! Let's bring those back. ***** ...

New Instagram Aesthetic

New Instagram Aesthetic: Okay, it's not new , but I didn't really have an aesthetic before. It was suggested that I pick one. I knew I needed to, but it took someone saying it for me to actually do something about it. So what do you all think? Brown and white, burlap and polka-dots. Yes? No? Mostly I was attempting neutrals so I could still tie in color. I can't give up color! ***** Book I'm reading: Umbertouched  by Livia Blackburne (Pow! Color! See how I did that?😉) This is the second book in the Rosemarked series. I love this series, but I really need them to kiss now. Like, Dineas, stop being a jerk and admit your feelings. Lol. Quote of the week: ***** Music I'm listening to: So much! *Paper Doll  by Bea Miller "I'm not a paper doll. Can't make me, what you want." * Force of Nature , Bea Miller * Fire and Gold , Bea Miller * Sit Still,...

What do you believe about you?

Happy Thursday, friends! This week has flown by. Hubs and I got back Monday from a short vacation. Tomorrow I have a conference for work. "Busy, busy, busy. In the best possible sense." --Paolo,  The Princess Diaries Therefore, I am doing my blog today, just to fit it in. Cool thing that happened this week: I reached 100 followers on Instagram! What?! I actually waited to share this because my number of followers went down when I reached the nineties. Probably a good idea considering I went from 104 to 102 after deciding to post this. 🤣 Vacation: Hubs and I took a short trip down south to stay at a hotel and see a comedy act. Shout out to the young ones for the tickets! We rested and ate yummy food. I discovered I am a breakfast person, but only if someone else is doing the cooking. Quote : "Replace fear of the unknown with curiosity." I found this quote online a week ago. I'm not actually sure wher...
